Food lovers all over the land are gearing up for festival season. Oh, the joys of sitting back in a camping chair on a grassy knoll with a sausage roll warm from the oven and a proper local cider… As well as the tempting food stalls there are cookery demos to enjoy from the rock-star chefs who tour the country to entertain festivalgoers, along with lots of fun events and a party atmosphere in the town hosting the festival. It’s a win win: you can feel all worthy about supporting your local producers and have a great time to boot. Food festivals are now an essential part of summer for anyone who cares about good food and how it’s produced.
